Setmore is appointment scheduling software that lets businesses show services, availability, and prices on a Booking Page where clients can book themselves and pay. It supports one-to-one services and group classes, along with group booking, two-way calendar sync, and automated reminders. Teams can use profiles, permission levels, individual logins, calendar views, and messaging. Payments can be taken online or in person through Stripe, Square, PayPal, and LawPay. Listed integrations include Google Analytics, Mailchimp, website widgets, Zapier, and calendar tools. Setmore provides Android and iOS mobile apps and Windows and macOS desktop apps. The Free plan supports up to four users and includes one reminder. Pro supports unlimited users and gives team members 500 SMS credits each month, with additional credits available in-app. Pro starts at $5/user/mo (annual); the advertised price is based on annual pricing, and subscriptions renew automatically according to the selected monthly or annual period. Pro can be tried for 30 days with a refund available if unsatisfied. All customers receive support by phone, chat, or email.

Vagaro is business management and scheduling software for beauty, wellness, and fitness businesses. It combines booking pages and payments with calendar and resource management, reporting, inventory, invoices, memberships, packages, gift certificates, and customer tracking. Businesses can offer group bookings, automated reminders, and two-way calendar sync. Vagaro says it serves independent providers through businesses with multiple locations, and listings on the Vagaro Marketplace come at no additional cost. The web-based service is available through vagaro.com, with Vagaro Pro apps for Apple and Android devices. QuickBooks and Xero integrations can import sales transactions, taxes, tips, and refunds; when synchronization starts, QuickBooks initially imports only the previous two months of Vagaro data. APIs and webhooks can connect accounts to external systems and send real-time business-event notifications. The One Location plan costs $30 a month, billed monthly, for one location. A United States base subscription is listed at $23.99 a month for the first six months, with one bookable calendar included. Vagaro offers a 30-day trial, which excludes email marketing, text marketing, and the branded app.
